Elizabeth Asked:

“I had been single for about a year when I finally met someone I thought I could really spend time with. We were great together (awesome chemistry, no fighting) and became very close over about 3 months. I thought we were falling in love.

Just under 3 weeks ago, things changed. He didn’t call or text as much and when we did speak, he was distracted. A few days (yes, *days*) after this he came over to tell me things weren’t working for him and that we should stop seeing each other. He didn’t give me a real reason; just that he knows what he needs in a relationship and something was missing.

Angelica Asked:

“Should I tell someone I dated one month who became my boyfriend shortly after that I had a one time affair early in our relationship? We have been together for one year now and will never be unfaithful to him again. He already has trust issues from a previous relationship and the reason I had affair was because I thought he just wanted to use me and I was not sure if I was going to stay in the relationship. He had told me he didn’t want a relationsip but ended up asking me to be his girlfriend after he got into some trouble. I found out he actually does love me.”

“It’s not as much what you give, but how you give it!”

LoVe LuCy

We all know that body language is most of what is communicated when we are speaking with people.

Of course, what we say counts, but how we say things, more importantly how we come across can make all the difference.

All of us have our own way of communicating. Some of us are very serious, or linear; others can be animated and enthusiastic no matter what the topic.

I have been told I am quite the story teller; arms flailing out and around, as I go on and on; and sometimes on a bit more than need be to get my point across?

You are not in a fast food joint- you are entering the fine dining arena. Get your game on with some simple tips. Consider this your “playbook” and be a winner!

Sheila an expert in East Indian Dating advises “Fine dining is an experience you may not feel comfortable with. You will have to leave your ball cap at home. You may have to order wine but do not panic! Make reservations in advance since hot restaurants book up fast. There is probably a dress code so find out ahead of time. You might get seated if you show up too casually dressed but you can bet it will be a table by the kitchen. If you are running late be sure to call and let them know.”

Are you terrified by place settings, all those forks, knives and spoons? It is easy once you know what everything means. Since the plate will be in the middle, let’s work around it. Imagine a clock; your forks will be at 9 o’clock, knives and spoons at 3 o’clock, possibly desert utensils at twelve. If you get confused, just work from outside to inside toward your plate!

•Are these sites really too blame?

•Is the accessibility of these sites too much temptation for people to handle?

•Or, are we allowing ourselves to blame our partners bad behavior on the sites rather than their level of self control?

During my marriage I’ve had two black ‘n blue eyes—one of them is just now fading, neither from Dale’s fist (violence isn’t in his nature even when he’s to-the-max irritated with me) and each a reminder of how moments of intimate togetherness pop up in surprising ways. Here’s how I got this one . . .

Excited about attending the Rally to Restore Sanity, we arrive Friday evening in DC. The plan: settle in, change, and go to dinner. Small hitch: Dale has left my suitcase in Richmond. Problem solved by finding and getting to Macy’s and CVS (we do) without getting lost (we don’t). If you’ve ever driven in an unfamiliar city with one of you navigating by iPhone Google Maps, you’ll understand how nerve-frayed we are when we sit down to a late dinner.
